Well me and a friend went to go tear it apart to do the timing and discovered it needed an engine swap. My friend and I were originally going to do it ourselves, but it was winter and a storm was coming so I had to let someone else do the swap. :'(

haha your story is way too similar to my 4 door. i paid 600 for mine as well and went to replace head gasket, front and rear crank seals, and oil pain gasket and found out i needed a new motor as well. i just ended up putting in an LS engine and gsr tranny.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to do my own swap, I really wanted to but we got hit with over a foot of snow and the car needed to go somewhere. I ended up with a junkyard engine. The car sat for 5 months before it was completely done and drivable. Sigh. Now I love racing stupid guys who pull up next to me revving their engines.

we'll see what happens, if its gonna cost me 1000. I'd rather get SIR bumpers. but my last accident I never had to pay anything out of pocket. they just deduct it from the car value, and if the damage cost 70% of what the cars worth, then they total it.

Right now, just looks like hood,bumper,grill,headlight, and bumper beam.I wont know until I put on a new bumper beam.If the core support is tweaked at all (crosses fingers).I'm getting all the parts on Friday and my insurance is gonna give me a estimate on Friday on how much there gonna pay to fix it.If anything i'll have them cut me a check and i'll just fix it myself.
